Summary: Children Go From Court (Press, 25 August 1975)
On 25 August 1975, it was reported that three children, estimated to be between eight and 12 years old, were asked to leave the Woolnough abortion trial taking place in the Supreme Court in Auckland. This occurred while a defence witness was providing evidence regarding the interviewing procedures at the Remuera Abortion Clinic. The children, who were accompanied by an adult, were about to take their seats when the Court Registrar intervened. The presiding judge exercised his discretion, deeming the case not suitable for young individuals. This incident follows a previous occurrence about four weeks prior, where a group of Form II pupils mistakenly attended a court session during which a confessed homosexual spoke about their experiences. Inquiries afterward indicated that the pupils' presence was a genuine mistake.
